Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC936ALP6E is a 6-bit digital phase shifter
which is rated from 1.2 to 1.4 GHz, providing 360
degrees of phase coverage, with a LSB of 5.625
degrees. The HMC936ALP6E features very low RMS
phase error of 1.2 degrees and extremely low inser-tion
loss variation of 0.5 dB across all phase states. This
high accuracy phase shifter is controlled with positive
control logic of 0/+5V and requires no negative supply
voltage. The HMC936ALP6E is housed in a compact
6x6 mm plastic leadless SMT package and is internally
matched to 50 Ohms with no external components.
